Some of you may remember me posting about a 650 Kijiji find in January. As it was a four hour drive, no pics but based on a converstaion with the owner, I took a chance & sent him a deposit to keep for me and I was hoping it wouldn't be a total waste of time & money.
So I made the trek north with a trailer last weekend and....was very pleasantly surprised with what I saw. The bike was complete and had been plated the last three years, PO said it had a new chain & one tire. As I am checking the tank (no rust or dents!) the guys says, oh the stuff on the shelf comes with it too. I look over & see a ratty set of soft saddle bags, bike cover, turn signal lens, bulb & holder, owners manual in the original plastic case & a Clymers . Trying hard not to grin too stupidly, I hand him the cash, show him where to sign the ownership, & load up the trailer.
It never seems to happen to me, but I think this time I got a great deal! I don't think it will take a lot to get it running again (famous last words, they will probably come back to haunt me) Obligatory pic attached. Now I need warm weather to do some wrenching!
